Do I Need to Install a 4 Flat Connector on my Motorhome with 5 Way Round
Question:
I will tow a 2010 Dodge Dakota behind my Class-A DP with separate brake/turn. Purchased and Installed the RM-154 on the Dakota, and also purchased the Brite-View 172 3-to-2 box, in accordance with your directions. QUESTION: the coach trailer connection is currently a round-five. Do I need to install a flat-four connection on the motorhome to connect to the Brite-View converter? I could probably install a flat-four in parallel to the round-five if necessary.... Thanks for your assistance.

Expert Reply:
I recommend installing a 4 way flat like the Hopkins Endurance, # HM48030, on the back of your RV. This will allow you to plug directly into the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit, # RM-154.
Since your RV is already wired for a trailer connector, you will not need to use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter, # RM-732.
